Black Label Society is a Heavy metal music|heavy metal band formed by Zakk Wylde, with nine albums released to date.
Band's Formation
In the early 1990s, Wylde had formed his own solo band Pride and Glory (band)|Pride & Glory, playing a mixture of bluesy southern rock with heavy metal music|heavy metal. However, after one album, they disbanded in December 1994. Wylde subsequently recorded an acoustic solo album, ''Book of Shadows (album)|Book Of Shadows'' (released 1996). In May 1998, after limited commercial success with ''Book of Shadows'', Wylde and drummer Phil Ondich recorded what became Black Label Society's debut album ''Sonic Brew''. It was decided, rather than the album being another solo album for Wylde, that they would form a long-lasting band. It was known from the get-go that Nick Catanese would be retained as the second guitarist in the band (Catanese previously toured as rhythm guitarist for the Book Of Shadows tour). John DeServio, who previously worked with Wylde as a temporary replacement in Pride & Glory, joined as the band's bassist for the album's tour.
''Sonic Brew'' was released in Japan on 28 October 1998. Due to delays in signing with a record label (Spitfire Records), the album was not released in the rest of the world until 4 May 1999.
